Rough demo, in need of a lead guitar to take a solo.  See the score for the tempo etc. http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/893a354de698d4bb9306ba12dd87d53796c650df

Not Cinderella

A piece of Trock (Time Lord Rock) inspired by the Doctor Who episode "Midnight".  I think it stands alone well enough, even if you don't know the show at all.

LYRICS:
Crisp and correct in her uniform
Brisk and effecient, she welcomes all aboard.
All aboard!

Answers to "Miss!" or to "Stewardess!"
With friendly detachment responds to each address
With a "Yes, Sir or Madam, and how can I help?"

She has a duty to do
The safety and comfort of everyone who comes aboard
Is assured

At the end of the journey,
They all should be glad that they came
And they'll smile as they leave her
And never once ask her her name.

She's the nameless woman
The one who saved us all
In the line of duty she has fallen
And that nameless woman
Is only one of many nameless women
Who live every day.

Crisp and correct in her uniform
Brisk and efficient she welcomes all aboard.
All aboard!


Nameless Woman

Written and recorded late at night, hence the whispered vocal.  

Still not sure if the "la-la-la" sections will stay that way, or be replaced with words.  


Dim-Light  Melody-line

Melody only, broken in places where I frantically wonder what to do next.  

Feeling Down (roughs)

A rough version of the chorus to "Insect Town".  I'm still looking for a verse, bridge, and other song-type elements.

Insect Town - chorus

An idea for a song.  Theme - we can only control things up to a point, and then we can only stand and watch.

The verses still need to be written.

The Archer - chorus

A melody line and sketched out lyrics.  This needs to be expanded on to make it a full song.


Lyrics:

My darling, I don't need
To wear my heart on my sleeve
'Cos I know you understand 
There's secret poetry
Between you and me
Mere words don't stand a chance 

If you don't bring me flowers
If I don't dress up fine
If we don't go to Paris
Or send cute Valentines
It doesn't mean I love you less
It doesn't mean you're bored
It's simply that we've reached the place
Where words can be ignored

So darling, you don't need
To wear you heart on your sleeve
'Cos you know I understand
The secret poetry
Between you and me
The soul of our romance
Mere words don't stand a chance. 



Mere Words

I had to get this out of the way.  I was recording and deleting version after version, unhappy with the way they came out, so I decided to do a take where it didn't matter how it came out, because it's just a bit of silliness.  

Enjoy.  And, no, that is not my real accent.

Assignment 1.2 - Silly version

Combining scat with altered lyrics.  Keeping with the melancholy tone, and sticking pretty close to the melody - if not the words.

Assignment 1.2 - Vocal take 01

I thought I would try for a brighter sound on this minor track.  It's a gloomy lyric, but needn't be a sad piece of music.
